Abstract
Large subduction-zone earthquakes are thought to occur where the down-going and overriding tectonic plates are strongly locked. Analysis of geodetic and seismic data collected in the decade before the 2010 Chile earthquake shows that variations in pore-fluid pressure correlate with the degree of plate-interface locking, and may therefore control earthquake rupture.
